This card is for the sketch for challenge 3 on Fab 'n' funky:It uses the colours given for Colour throwdown 72:I used BG eskimo kisses papers, a piece of glittery ribbon (there was an option for the Fab 'n' funky challenge to include glitter) and some Dovecraft brads.

And I've had quite a few other delightful cards from crafting friends - I'll show them soon (I think it's nice to put them on here for others to see and also so that I will be able to look back on them on here long after Christmas has gone).

The topic for the December inchies swap on BF, hosted again by Leigh - thank you, Leigh - is Christmas.

I've used a very light blue silvery reflective card that has silver foiling within it. I stamped an angel on each inchie - from the Hero Arts 'joys of Christmas' stamp set - and heat embossed with silver detail. I then added a few gems and a little crystal ice stickles on the angels' wings.

It was so difficult to try and get a photo of these because of the reflective card. The first picture is a scan, the second a photo and the third a close up photo of one of the inchies.

The current challenge on Inchy by inch is 'Christmas carol', so these are perfect for 'Hark, the herald angels sing'. And Kraftin' Kimmie 10 this week is asking for 'sparkle, baby!'

This week on Stampin' sisters in Christ, the verse for challenge 17 is Matthew 6:19-20 and the challenge is 'to get out your crafting *treasures* and use on your cards or other projects this week, in other words BLING IT UP.' This seems appropriate, as it's using crafting bling to swap with others.

Obviously atm, 'Christmas' is the theme of many challenges, so I'm also linking for:

The subject for the ATC swap on BF for December, hosted again by Ali - thanks, Ali - is 'sparkle/glitter'.

I used some turquoisy green foiled card which had silver swirls on it and overlaid this with foiled vellum. In the scan you can't see that Seasons greetings is foiled slightly differently - it just doesn't show up - but you can see it a bit in the photo (although there's glare from the flash).
